Her parents moved to Canada when she was only two years old, after her father got a job offer there. When she was six, her parents divorced, following which she stayed in Canada with her mother while her father moved back to Sweden.

She studied psychology for a year at York University in Toronto, after which she dropped out and moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting.

Malin Akerman started her career as a child model at the age of five, and continued to appear on TV commercials till she was 12. At the age of 17, she won the Ford Supermodel of Canada contest and signed to the modeling agency.
